way down and hold it there. The
transmission shifts to a lower gear
ratio depending on engine speed.
L :This position reduces vehicle
speed without using the brakes by
using the braking effect of engine
compression. It can help control
vehicle speed going down steep
hills, on long downhill grades, or on
mountain roads, along with using
the brakes off and on. This may
prolong the life of the brake linings.
In the event of a fault, the
malfunction indicator lamp
illuminates. See your dealer for
repairs.Manual Transmission
Caution
Shifting the vehicle initially into
any gear other than 1 (First) or
R (Reverse) can damage the

shifting with the accelerator to
avoid revving the engine and
damaging the clutch. 1 :
Press the clutch pedal and shift
into 1 (First). Then, slowly let up on
the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
If you have come to a complete stop
and it is hard to shift into 1 (First),
put the shift lever in Neutral and let
up on the clutch. Press the clutch
pedal back down. Then shift into
1 (First).
2 : Press the clutch pedal as you let
up on the accelerator pedal and
shift into 2 (Second). Then, slowly
let up on the clutch pedal as you
press the accelerator pedal.
3, 4, and 5 : Shift into 3 (Third),
4 (Fourth), and 5 (Fifth) the same
way as for 2 (Second). Slowly let up
on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.

198 Driving and Operating
Turning the System On and Off
The RPA system can be turned on
and off using the infotainment
system controls. SeeVehicle
Personalization 0123.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
This light may come on for the
following reasons:
.
The sensors are not clean. Keep
the vehicle's rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush.
For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care 0271.
. The sensors are covered by
frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors
and may not always be seen;
this can occur after washing the vehicle in cold weather. The light
may not clear until the frost or
ice has melted.
. An object was hanging out of the
liftgate during the last drive
cycle. Once the object is
removed, RPA will return to
normal operation.
. The bumper is damaged. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
. Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
If the above conditions do not exist,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system may
help to avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
quickly, FCA provides a red flashing
alert on the windshield and rapidly beeps. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately 60 m
(197 ft) and operates at speeds
above 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving
0166.
FCA can be disabled with the FCA
steering wheel control.
